Firstly: Cronenberg's Crash is a very different story from Ballard's book. Write an informal review of the adaptation. Remember that an adaptation of a provocative book is an interesting study, since producers can get away with less in the "mass" medium of cinema. That said, Cronenberg is a bold director. How do the ideas, story, and world of Crash the book come across differently in the visual medium of film, and why?
Secondly: read the assignment (over 50 pages) of Martin Amis's Money.
- How does the reader (in this case you) relate to the narrating character, John Self?
- How does the author of the book, Amis, appear as a presence?
- Amis is both praised and derided for his unique writing style. Pick a passage and analyze the language, tone, etc. with an eye to describing his style in this book, and what makes it unique. Include this passage in your post.
